Re: pkg/45026 (libpng crashes in links -g and other browsers)

["Nino on NetBSD 5.0.1" <nbsdold%gmx.net@localhost>]

Dear David,

The self-compiled and now working version of links-gui is:

Links 2.3pre1

- Which the previous failing version was I no longer know as I have replaced it 
with the above one.

png is reported as:

png-1.5.1

- but as discussed below, I actually did not use its libraries.

If you need any further information, please let me know.

Thank you very much for your help with this issue and kind regards,


Nino
